Time of Reading 4:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion - in the office of [2107], President of the ... Chemical Products Corp., at ..., Penna.)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [279]. Now, we find physical conditions somewhat different with this body than we have had before. While in many respects the physical forces and physical conditions are very good, there have been changes in the effects that have been produced in the physical body. Different conditions have brought about different effects and affectations in the system, as is indicated in the soft tissue and antrum of the fore portion, as to conditions in the soft tissue or bone in and about the area of the teeth, as to the variation in the metabolism of the system. Much of this change has been produced by the atmospheric pressure, or change, and the mental attitude - as well as the poor eliminations, as has been seen - and given - in the system.
2. Some local attention, then, should be given especially those of the antrum - and this applied, or this used as the antiseptic to cleanse same when pus is active from, or the fluids that cause pus; using a weakened solution of Ichthyol, or Mono-Ichthyolate. The Mono-Ichthyolate would be the more effective, or the Ichthyol diluted sufficient to cleanse such conditions would, with one or two applications, so eradicate the local condition as to make for the correction of this in the area.
3. Unless there is a return of this local condition, and this becomes segregated in the nerves OF teeth, these as YET need only some local attention - see? and are not the cause but the EFFECTS of disturbances in the portion of system.
4. In the metabolism, we would find that while this is an exaggeration in the present, the effects from the strep in the system, as from such areas or conditions, are affecting the system; and is NOT the CAUSE - but is effective WITH the variation in the heart's PULSATION, at times. It being, or having been, loosed in the system from toxic forces THROUGHOUT the body, now - through the inhalation, or the
279-14 Page 2
pressure under which the body has labored, with much worriment and such - caused local conditions in the face.
5. In those conditions in the colon and through THOSE tissues of the body, we find these are not troubling so MUCH in the present, but that there are STILL traces in the system of that which CAUSES the disorder at times. Well that the irrigations be taken occasionally to keep the colon cleansed, and we would find that the psyllium occasionally, with the Petrolagar (the alkaline reacting character, with the agar), gives a qualification that would be effective for the system.
6. The physical exercises are well, that HAVE been taken, and should be resumed. It would be well that the body have occasionally a thorough working out, such as when the colonics or the irrigations are given - that some of the sweats, with the salt or glow rubs, with the general massage, be taken. This should be, as we find, once or twice a month - which would be sufficient for KEEPING the body near physically fit.
7. Keep in the OPEN. Beware of those atmospheres that are too much smoke, or irritants to the muco-membranes - either in inhaling or by absorption, and we will keep the body near physically fit.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Shall the body have a basal metabolism test made? (A) Not NECESSARY, as we would find - for while it would show some irregularity, and some indications of a strep in the system, WITH the following of the suggestions given this would clear same.
10. (Q) What is the urinalysis today? (A) This would show a better condition than has existed. Very little cast would be seen. Little or no traces of that which would be clayey, or coloring in same - but that the system is STRAINED by the eliminations being unbalanced in the COORDINATING OF eliminations, as HAS been indicated for the body - see?
11. (Q) Any albumin? (A) Little or none.
12. (Q) Any other exercise besides the resumption of the morning exercises on the rowing machine? (A) This would be sufficient, save that once or twice in thirty days we would have a thorough working out by someone ELSE giving the most of the exercise - see? This will keep the body physically fit. As to the diets, these have been VERY well balanced in the system. Keep away from any of these of the alcoholic
279-14 Page 3
content, that make for creating of dregs in the liver, pancreas or kidneys. Do not smoke too much. This may produce irritation either in the soft tissue or throat, or both, and bring for an increase in amount of dregs in system. Do as we have outlined, and we will find we will keep the body near physically fit. Keep buoyant in mind. Keep active physically, and we will find bettered conditions.
13. (Q) Should the body take injections for prevention of colds, as suggested by the specialist who first treated his antrum condition? (A) As WE find, if the body will take into consideration the conditions that are existent, and what the real character of such injections are, it would be found to be DETRIMENTAL rather than beneficial. For this character (as was suggested) is merely the injection of those of a germ nature that are sterile, and that force the system to create that which would destroy or throw same out, creating then that effluvium in the lymph emunctories that would be at variance to such germ. As there are already existent those traces of that which brings congestion, when settling either in colon, throat, the membranes of the soft tissue and the like, this MUST then be harmful. Rather that there be created through the regular activities, through those things as have been given - and as are being given - for creating VIRILE RED BLOOD, that WILL combat and prevent colds, than that reached from another way or manner.
14. (Q) Is it possible the antrum condition affected the vaso-motor nerves of the head and face, causing the nervous twitches the body had, and the reddish color in lips? (A) This not the cause; rather, as has been given, that there were those excesses of poisons in the system needing elimination, AND coordination of the MANNER of elimination. These, in their tracing - or activity through the system - FINDING a soft or an easy access THROUGH antrum, brought about or produced the trouble there, rather than the trouble in antrum producing the trouble in the vasomotor or in the color, or the tic - or SECONDARY tic - to the nerves of the face, neck, head! Do as we have given, and - as we find - we will have a near NORMAL body, [279].
15. (Q) Will the body ever apply for, and pass examination for additional insurance? (A) He may, or he may NOT apply; for the body may be able - is able - to pass examination for additional insurance.
16. (Q) What can be done to have the heartbeat reduced to normal, or near normal, not momentarily - but regularly? (A) As has been given, will there be those proper
279-14 Page 4
activities - that will produce the coordination of the eliminating forces of the system - this will be brought to a normalcy. Because conditions momentarily become better, and the body engage - or allow self through some activity to have cold or congestion, or create for system those conditions to be eliminated, that bring about a different congestion in system - it's no reason why, that WERE these kept normal for a time, until the body were normal, would MAKE normalcy in the system - as has been given! DO that!
